Public lecture on the topic of Indigeneities and Contemporary Art.

What is the reception and place of Indigenous art in an international context? How has this reception changed in recent years? Candice Hopkins will speak about two recent and separate projects—the inaugural Toronto Biennial of Art, which launched in September 2019, and the most recent Canadian Pavilion at the 58th Venice Biennale featuring the media art collective Isuma—with both having a focus on Indigenous art.

FREE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC.

This event is organized by BAP in partnership with UP Center for Ethnomusicology with support from The Embassy of Canada to the Philippines.
